Just a quick update about our sojourn in the Land of Broken Items. Bud was here until Saturday morning when we dropped him off at approximately 6:30 a.m. When he left, pretty much everything was in working order. To add weight to my theory that there seems to be a disturbance in the force that [...]
So when you’re not looking, life just moves along. Mine mostly seems to be going in circles while I’m waiting for my husband to return to from Korea. Every week I get up every morning at 7:00 a.m., get ready for work, go to work, work all day, come home from work, do laundry, do [...]

My friend Cindy and I had decided to spend a girl’s weekend at the lake at Cindy’s lake house. Since her husband, Avery, was working, we took Cindy’s three dogs [...]
We have been going through some changes at the Epps’ house lately. Joey was in a serious courting relationship that didn’t work out. Bella has also gone through a break-up and finding out she won’t be graduating in December as planned, mostly due to some bad advice from her collage adviser. These occurrences have led [...]
